Exploration – Southern Ocean Exploration, by its name, is committed to promoting exploration of our maritime heritage around Southern and South Eastern Australia. This commitment is exemplified in our guiding principles.

Education – we encourage, promote, participate and conduct appropriate and ongoing training in diving techniques, methods, skills and maritime archaeology.

Preserving our underwater Maritime Heritage - shipwrecks are the archaeological record of a precise moment in time. Once damaged, disturbed or lost they cannot be replaced.

Safety – in all land based and on/underwater activities, safety is the primary concern for every team member. Our procedures and risk mitigation strategies are designed to put safety first and deliver successful, repeatable outcomes.
